you like crowds, cheap bargains and food. There is a pasar malam
going on in town every night of the week depending on where you
live. I live closest to Bangsar so on Saturdays (now held on
Sundays) my sister and I will leave the house at 5 (to avoid the
crowd, although at 5:30, it starts to get a little claustrophobic) and
spend an hour or two roaming the pasar malam there. There are
streets of vendors selling everything from fresh seafood to
clothing to electronic gadgets. You will see people with carts filled
up to the brim with fruits, cakes, clothing and all sorts of knick
knacks along the streets. Also a great place to bump into your
friends who live around the same area. Everyone goes to the
pasar malam! This is an event not to be missed for travelers.
Was there last night with my parents and thought it might be
interesting to show you guys what it's like.
Always a crowd; tables of snacks, biscuits & sweets,
accessories & sunglasses
Fresh flowers. Need an iron? You even get a demontsration.
Nangka (jackfruit) ...yum!; removing nangka
Fresh fruits. Dragon fruit - perhaps the young Brian Pargac can
enlighten us with the story of its origin?
Squid, cuttlefish, etc...; Ikan bilis (anchovies) and fresh seafood
SATAY - this is the real thing. Priced between 40-50sen
per stick, depending on the kind of meat you want, it also
comes with cucumbers, onions, ketupat and peanut gravy
Fatman Steamboat. Steamboat...one of my
favourite meals of all time. Having it at home is
much more fun.
This lady actually smiled for the picture.
She's selling Otak-Otak. Otak in Malay means brains;
Otak-Otak however is fish cake (or BBQ fish according
to the sign)
Veggie dumpling; this man is making some kind of
Chinese bread-like dessert; and the last pic is of a girl
selling a kind of Chinese dumpling called Zhong
